<![CDATA[Car storage]]>So after two years of promises/threats to completely tear up my street to do some water main and trunk line work to meet water needs elsewhere in the city, the fine planners of New Berlin have found a contractor willing to do the job cheap enough at $1.3mil. End result is about 3/4 mile of road gets torn up from late March-October with my house smack in the middle of the construction zone.

To add to the fun we apparently lose car access to our street and driveways in the process. Exact road work schedule isn't clear or where we're supposed to park our dailys. That I can live with but the track car stored at home may no longer work.

Best local price for a 10x20 unit near where I store the trailer is $107 / month. Suggestions for other options welcomed.

Today was a good day for 4wd truck.... just to get down my street.

sheesh, this must be some real important project

So they keep saying. One mile and a summer of mayhem for us that benefits the rest of the city of New Berlin points west. Snap you've obviously been using too much water and the neighbors were complaining about low pressure in their showers or something.

Round one was laying new 8" water pipes on our side of the street. Round two is connecting the household lines to the main, which seems to involve digging up everything they dug up before and carving 4'x10' by 8' deep trench holes in everyone's lawn. Round three will be digging up and replacing the old main line on the other side of the street and replacing it with a 12" main, and I expect digging up everything they already dug up twice to re-reconnect everything they already connected. And somewhere after all of this they repave the street...

Here is end of day today.

They're laying new water line on the south side of the street right now so no interruption. Next is to tear up the north side of the street where the feeder lines meet the existing main line.

Joe did heavy research on this garage subject, he may be able to help. I only did a little looking in the fall, and from what I saw $107 for an enclosed spot is a good deal around MKE.

I found that the best place to search for space where you would be allowed to work on a car was the "parking & storage" section of craigslist. $107 isn't bad for a 10x20 storage unit, but they most likely wont let you work on anything. The flip side is that it will most likely be more secure than renting a random garage. If you have any intentions of working on the car I would recommend looking for something 'private', where the landlord is fine with car work. 

Generally, the closer you get to Milwaukee, the more expensive things get

We have a mix of old and young folks on the street. Some of the old folks who attended a public meeting last fall came away with concerns that humping down the street was the plan. They were not happy. Problem is we haven't been given much info since. Should be a fun summer.

What about anyone on your street who may have disabilities?

Hah. Over the years car and trailer have spent their fair share of time in the Kummrow lot. Pat tends to be happier when he gets space back.

Can it be outdoor storage in a safe area or does it need to be enclosed?
